Abstract:
Supported Employment services have significantly enhanced the opportunities for competitive employment among persons with mental illnesses. However, the research shows that there remain problems with under-utilization and attrition in these programs. In addition, the rates of termination among those in supported employment placements are high. This article describes a self-rating scale that can be used by both employed and unemployed persons that has the potential to address these problems. The article also reports a study that shows this self-rating scale to be a valid, summary index for the employment relevant variables of job satisfaction, motivation, and job-related experiences. The self-rating scale appears to be a worthy candidate for a trial in supported employment operations.
